The **European Draughts Championship** is the European championship in [international draughts](/source/International_draughts), organized since 1965 by the [World Draughts Federation](/source/World_Draughts_Federation) (FMJD) and the [European Draughts Confederation](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=European_Draughts_Confederation&action=edit&redlink=1). An annual blitz championship has been held since 2005, and an annual rapid championship since 2012. A team championship has been organized since 1967, with team blitz (since 2007) and team rapid (since 2013) competitions added later. A veterans championship (50+) was introduced in 2001. Youth championships are also held in the U27, U19, U16, U13, and U10 categories. Separate [women's events](/source/European_Women's_Draughts_Championship) are organized as well.[1]
